“Biomechanics of a Lacrosse Shot” Lacrosse is defined as a ball game invented by American Indians‚ now played by two teams who try to propel a ball into each other’s goal by means of long-handled hooked sticks that are loosely strung with a kind of netted pouch (Farlex‚ Inc.). Behind every shot taken in a lacrosse game‚ elements of biomechanics are implemented. Biomechanics is the “sport science” field that applies the laws of mechanics (movements‚ body angles‚ joint positions‚ etc.)‚ biomedical

the USA in the early 1930’s. It is a very energetic‚ boppy dance that encounters a number of fast tricky steps. Biomechanics is an analysis process that detects ways to improve athlete’s performances and techniques. It allows the athlete and the coach to understand how force acting on the athlete’s body determines the movement or performance. From having a thorough knowledge of biomechanics you can detect problems or faults with techniques and to justify changes in technique to perform at an enhanced

question: "Both texts explore aspects of humanity. How does the context of each text affect the ideas represented and techniques used?" Both Frankenstein‚ by Mary Shelley‚ and Blade Runner‚ by Ridley Scott‚ are products of their time that crystallize the fears‚ uncertainties and desires of their age. Frankenstein is representative of the Romantic and enlightenment context‚ exploring humanity at a time when there was increased emphasis on the desire for knowledge and exploitation of science
